Normal map generation question
I've played around alot with creating complex objects in Max and basic texturing and want to move up into using mudbox for sculpting. Having never used normal maps, I'm curious as to how they're created and the limitations of creating them which leads me to ask this: I am wanting to create a modular victorian road with a… -
Normal baking error - White lines on model
Hi guys! I'm new around and I hope you can help me with this issue: when I bake normal map I get these lines in my model that can't be fixed with the cage neither the skew option. I tried deleting and repeating the retopology + unwrapping every time it happens (sometimes works) but this time I don't know what else to do.… -
Re: Please help me with Maya normal map Error.
If you're having trouble baking with Maya due to your high poly, you can try XNormal. It doesn't have a viewport and doesn't load models visually so you won't have issues with really high poly meshes. It's a great program for baking occlusion and normals. If you're confused about anything to do with normal mapping you can… -
Slightly confused: Baking normal maps onto a low-poly object!
At the moment I have a high-poly model. I'm beginning retopology for a low-poly version, but I've never baked normal maps before. The model doesn't have any UV's as of yet. So I'm feeling lost. Did I screw up completely by not UV mapping first? If it's any help I'm using zBrush. How do you folks create normal maps for a… -
3DS Max - Normal Map Baking Problem
Hi. I have been trying to bake a normal map in 3D Studio Max. Everytime I do it, the normal map is created but there is nothing on it. It is empty. I have been having problems for a while now with baking textures in max. I have followed every tutorial on the subject and still, I cannot do it. It is driving me crazy :3 I… -
Combining bump and normal maps in Maya '14 does not work
I followed the steps in this tutorial and they worked in past projects but not this time. http://matthewtan85.wordpress.com/tutorials/tutorial-combine-normal-maps-and-bump-maps-in-maya2011/ Tried using the connection editor to input the OutNormal of one bump2d node into the NormalCamera of the other but the results never… -
Answered: Cannot view normal map in 3Do from nDo
Hello, I am trying to create a normal map using nDo and use the refresh button in nDo to open 3Do to view the changes. Currently all I get is just a gray cube with no maps on it. It seems like since QS 2 released I have tons of trouble with 3Do including having random meshes sometimes still loaded from older projects. Is… -
Bake soft and hard edges as normals on low poly
Hello, Is it possible to bake the soft and hard edges information into a normal map using only a low poly mesh? Imagine I have a 10x10x10 cube, the top and bottom edge loops are hard edges, and the side edges are soft edges. I want to bake this edges information to my low poly as if the hard edges had a chamfer of 0.1, and… -
looking for Ogro's Q1 E1M1 normal maps.. or ogro.
hey.. im trying to track down a set of normal maps that ogro made for the first quake 1 level.. E1M1.. playing quake 1 on the darkplaces engine is fucking sick with the normal maps i've got.. (ogro's monsters and most of E1M2 that i cooked up).. but i wanna deck the whole texture set.. i used to have ogro's E1M1 set before… -
Re: Baking (good) normal maps in Max?
before you go start putting wasteful smoothing groups (they increase your vertex count) on your model you might want to check what the normal map looks like when it's applied to a mesh. Just because you think your normal map looks bad doesn't mean it is bad. It's a bad way to evaluate your normalmap. for example here's a…
